The Democratic Party Must Be Destroyed
Prior to the Third Punic War against Carthage in the 2nd Century BC, Cato the Elder was said to have ended all his speeches in the Roman senate by saying, "Carthage must be destroyed." Notice, Cato did not say 'defeated' but 'destroyed.' What do you suppose motivated this distinguish statesman to take such an extreme position? It was that in the Second Punic War (218 to 201 BC), Rome came close to losing to the Carthaginians. In that war, Rome suffered a number of severe battlefield defeats at the hands of Hannibal's army, most notable being the Battle of Cannae, the worse Roman defeat in history. To Cato, Carthage, although defeated in the Second Punic War, was still a threat to the Republic of Rome.
Let's move ahead in time. Today we see the depravity and anti-Americanism that is prevalent in today's Democratic Party is literally putting our constitutional republic at risk. Do you think that's an exaggeration? Let's take a look.
On social issues, the Democrats are the leading force of moral decay in America. They are the champion of such perverse things as unrestricted abortion, homosexual marriage, transgenderism, racial strife, and a God-hating form of radical secularism. They corrupt every institution in the U.S. with these 'novel' concepts from our schools to the military and everything in between. The one thing these initiatives all have in common is that they rot out the foundation of the Republic and undermine the family.
When it comes to economic matters, Democratic policies suffocate growth through regulations, high taxes, and crony capitalism. In the party's view, personal self-sufficiency, independence, and holding a traditional family together are sins, while dependency on government is a virtue. Judging by their behavior, the only growth the Democrats applaud and work towards is growth in government, growth in the welfare rolls, and growth in the influx of Third-World immigrants into the country.
Immigration deserves a special comment. As is often correctly said, demographics is destiny. Look at the quantity and quality of the type of immigration that the Democrats push for. To the Democrats whose creed is 'diversity is strength,' America will be worthy only when its composition mirrors that of the United Nations. If such a suicidal attitude prevails, then the United States as we know it is gone. Do the Democrats care? If they do, it is only that the transformation isn't happening fast enough.
As for the rule of law, the Democrats have no respect for it save for those instances where it might serve their purpose. And this lawless attitude is not reserved merely for Democratic politicians but extends to the would-be philosopher kings the Democrats want as judges. A man like the late Anthony Scalia who interprets the law as it is written (as is prescribed in the Constitution), is an anathema to Democrats. Judges like Scalia limit unconstitutional behavior. Democrats, on the other hand, want judges who turn the written law into loosey-goosey tools to remake the country according to their whims. When it comes to the corruption of legislating from the bench, the Democrats have been highly successful, due to an always complicit media and far too often a complacent Republican Party.
In past presidential races since the 1980s, the only election results Democrats accepted as legitimate are the elections they win. To the Democrats, the presidencies of George W. Bush and Donald Trump were illegitimate. And the Democrats acted accordingly to the detriment of the country. This erodes the foundation of our electoral process which bodes ill for the nation.
And what we are seeing today is an unprecedented example of Democrat lawlessness. Their operatives at high levels in the FBI, the Justice Department, and some intelligence agencies actually worked to derail the presidential campaign of Donald Trump and then continued to try to overturn the election results after he won. This is a staggering development that is now being exposed.
Since the takeover of the Democrat Party by the McGovernites in the early 1970s, the Democrats have steadily drifted from the liberalism of Harry Truman and JFK to the dark leftwing darkness of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton and the rest. When in power, the Democrats are oppressors. Think of the abuses of the IRS, the EPA, and the FBI. When out of power, Democrats are energized as hateful antagonists to anyone who disagrees with them. You object to open borders, you're a racist. You criticize Hillary Clinton, you're a sexist. You think marriage should be only between man and a woman, you're a hate-filled homophobe. You believe in the God of the Bible, you're a fanatic akin to Muslim terrorists. It has even gotten to the point that if you're white, you're a closet racist... at best.
The right way to view the Democrats is that they are the running dogs of the Left. And so there's no mistake of what I mean, a 'running dog' is a literal translation from Chinese to mean lackey or lapdog, an unprincipled person who helps or flatters a person more powerful, often evil. In Chinese, no idiomatic expression is more demeaning than the term 'running dogs.’
Given the state of the Democratic Party, wouldn't be nice if Republican candidates ended their speeches and echoed Cato by saying, "The Democratic Party must be destroyed?" Of course, it is not necessary to actually say such a thing... but the sentiment that "The Democratic Party must be destroyed" should be etched in the heart and mind of any Republican seeking office. Republicans who strive to 'work with' Democrats on an ongoing basis are on a fool's errant. They clearly do not understand the nature of their enemy they're dealing with.
In closing, note that Rome won the Third Punic War and totally destroyed Carthage. So there's hope. Good gracious almighty, some might say, what would the country do without a second party? Let the Republican party split in two. Or let a new party arise like the GOP did in the 1850s. In any event, the only parties of national scope that should be tolerated are ones devoted to the Constitution and the rule of law. http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/02/paraphrasing_cato_the_democratic_party_must_be_destroyed.html
Every time a Democrat opens It's mouth, it destroys itself these days.
No need to lift one finger. Just sit back, relax, make popcorn, and watch the walls of Liberalism tumble down more than it's tumbled since 2010.
It's not so much the democratic party, one that had such a long history housing so many interests (at one time both liberals and racists called it home). I can recall, as a boy, when it's heart & soul was the nation's blue collar workers. It has changed considerably since then.
The problem isn't so much with the party, it's with who controls the party today - progressives.
It is this ideology which must be confronted, denigrated and yes, isolated from American life.
Exactly true and well said. I think alot of the problems started in the mid 60s when flower children (many of whom post on here today) spit on our troops returning from Vietnam, took psychtropic drugs like they were candy, burned their bras because, well, just because, heckled the civil rights act and began the downfall of the traditional family structure. Those same people became the eviro-terrorists that would chase down ships and throw paint on them (my favorite videos were of the crew hitting the terrorists with water hoses, knocking them off their little boats), or burn down new housing subdivisions in the 80s. Today, they are nothing more than brain washed lemmings that call themselves progressives, to hide their true intent...socialism. There is absolutely nothing positive in their version of "progress".
Traditional democrats died out a decade or so ago.
I totally agree with you Vic, but if you bring it to their attention, they will deny it is true, but it is undeniable. It's like they're under some sort of spell, curse or something and have been long before Trump was elected.
Holy crackers.
How racist.
ooooooo sorry....wrong race.
Continue !
Never did a "Communion Thing?"
Ran the entire gambit !
The Dems are doing a good job of destroying themselves. A little hint: If your enemy is beating himself up, don't get in his way.
When I read shit like this seeded article, I fear that the haters in America will do anything to support their "Jess Willard" and his racist, xenophobic agenda, including the reconfiguration of the Justice Department to a Gestapo entity, the arrest (and possible execution of political adversaries and media personnel) …
… the skids of which having been greased for years by right-wing talk shows and the Joseph Goebbels Fox "News" propaganda machine.
AND WHY???????
CIA chief met with sanctioned Russian spies, officials confirm
Well, a reasoned take like that is great rebuttal.
Calling people who disagree with you racists, Nazi, murderers etc.. sure differentiates you from the author of this article.
Wow, AMac. Were you asleep when Obama ordered the murder of two American Citizens without a warrant or even an indictment in Yemen?
And who were those American citizens and what were they doing in Yemen?
Samir Khan and Anwar al-Awlaki were the two I am referring to. There was no indictment or even a warrant for them at the time that Obama ordered a drone strike on them. It doesn't matter what they had said before that drone strike, for all we know it was a joke or empty bragging. However, we know that the CIA claimed they were terrorists; but no one ever went to court to get an indictment or a warrant. If they had either one of those, I would not be accusing Obama of ordering the murder of Americans.
The intended target was was an operational leader of al-Qaeda … and tragically, it was his son killed by the drone strike.
Let's be consistent boys; if you are going to repudiate the unwarranted punishment/killing of the likely innocent son of a criminal/terrorist (and rightly so to repudiate), THEN RAILING FOR THE DEPORTATION OF DACA INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIMES-OF-THEIR-OWN … makes you selectively indignant and hypocritical.
"Collateral damage" needs to be seen for what it is and attribution of guilt must be guided by perspective and common sense.
There is a different, DACA people are here ILLEGALLY (thereby committing a CRIME) AND ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS. They are given the COURTESY of having Constitutional Rights. Al-Awalki and Khan were GUARANTEED Constitutional Rights by their AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP and therefore should not have been targeted by Obama and the drone strikes. They did not get an indictment or warrant against them and were therefore murdered by the President of the United States at the time.
Remember: Ignorance of the law is no excuse for violating the law.
I find a problem with loading up cargo planes with millions of dollars and delivering it in the dark of night to probably one of our worst enemies and just think, we didn't find that out for months after it happened. And while thinking the mics were off telling the Russians after the election......
Yes I find a lot of things to be problems, but this one I don't find to be a problem at all and I don't find it to relate to any collusion as the Left would like to portray it to be. Obama himself said he would gladly meet with our adversaries to talk. We are involved in a sticky situation with Russian and Syria at this time and talk is far better than letting the distance grow between us. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
DACA people are the innocent victims of unlawful acts committed by their parents; most are now productive individuals contributing positively to the country and the economy. If you are so locked in to the letter-of-the-law, then you certainly object to Donald Trump based upon …
An analysis by USA Today published in June 2016 found that over the previous three decades, current United States president Donald Trump and his businesses have been involved in 3,500 legal cases in U.S. federal courts and state court , an unprecedented number for a U.S. presidential candidate . [1]
Of the 3,500 suits, Trump or one of his companies were plaintiffs in 1,900; defendants in 1,450; and bankruptcy , third party, or other in 150. [1] Trump was named in at least 169 suits in federal court. [2]
A number of other cases (over 150) were in the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida (covering Broward County, Florida ) since 1983. [3] In about 500 cases, judges dismissed plaintiffs' claims against Trump. In hundreds more, cases ended with the available public record unclear about the resolution. [1] Where there was a clear resolution, Trump won 451 times, and lost 38. [4]
And lest we forget … TRUMP UNIVERSITY.
Selective indignation does not flatter the indignant one.
You people never fail to both amuse and disgust at the same time. You go to the mat to defend the extra-judicial overseas killing of an known and dedicated terrorist and dismiss the same thing regularly happening to black men by police in this country.
If that's a serious question, I am saddened to find that an adult individual is willing to play dumb in order not to capitulate to reasoned comparisons …
You are playing … yes?
Was TRUMP UNIVERSITY a legal entity that faced adverse actions via bankruptcy?
It is sickening to watch the gyrations the Jess Willard crowd will configure … each of which consists of eyes that "look the other way" so as not to foil the Great White Dope's agenda.
DO YOU THINK ANYONE IS FOOLED BY THE SELECTIVE INDIGNATIONS OF THOSE WHO MIS-LEARN FROM THE "TEACHING" OF THE JOSEPH GOEBBEL'S/Fox "News" ministry of propaganda.
The Irony!!! You think I'm whipped? The willing-dupes of Trumpia kneel at an altar of hatred where the are whipped into a frenzy of scapegoating to rationalize their own shortcomings.
Of the $25m some $21m will help reimburse those involved in the California suits. Some $3m will go to those in New York not covered by the California lawsuits.
Trump catapulted the case into the election this summer by assailing Judge Gonzalo Curiel, the federal district court judge hearing the case. Trump called him a “hater”, a “total disgrace” and “biased”. “He is not doing the right thing … [He] happens to be, we believe, Mexican,” he told a rally in San Diego.

Not to address the content.
Actually, when I believe a killing isn't justified, I say so. I believed Finicum's killing here in Oregon over the Malheur occupation was justified. The same thing was my conclusion with the Michael Brown killing based on the evidence. I read the DOJ report and the Missouri State Police report of the Michael Brown killing before making my judgement. What did you do? Listen to the players that were part of the St. Louis Rams at the time for the "truth" aka "Hands Up, Don't Shoot!"?
So, why haven't they applied for citizenship, yet?
Excuse me Atheist, but I call that Bullshit.
Nothing but stupid talk, but we have come to expect that from your type
My type?
Another no substance rebuttal with a personal insult. Want to start an under/over pool as to the number of Trump people who will go to prison?
40 was the Watergate count.
YOU post hateful crap regularly and endlessly and then when someone hands you your ass, you whine about it.
If you don’t like reaction ... cease the proactive hate seeds.
By proxy and willing blindness, you are indeed supporters of Putin's agenda; those who have no fear of learning the truth do not rail against processes intended to learn what the truth is.
The only collusion with the Russians I know of are Clintons and Kennedys.
Ted Kennedy's Soviet Gambit
First he offered to visit Moscow. "The main purpose of the meeting, according to the senator, would be to arm Soviet officials with explanations regarding problems of nuclear disarmament so they may be better prepared and more convincing during appearances in the USA." Kennedy would help the Soviets deal with Reagan by telling them how to brush up their propaganda.

To shut you up, possibly ? Me, I was just coppin a cheap feel
Not anywhere near the same as an American government official meeting clandestinely with a Russian spy banned from entering the U.S. … a meeting we only learned about because Russia revealed its occurrence.
That would be true of someone currently working for the intelligence community who had authorization from the current President and was putting American interests first. What we have with Flynn, Popadopoulos and a handful of Trump campaign staff including Donald Jr. is treasonous meetings with Russian operatives before any were authorized by the government in an attempt to gain dirt on a political opponent in exchange for benefits such as removing sanctions and the Magnitsky act if and when Trump won the election. This was clear pay for play where we saw the Russians deliver on their promises and Trump is now delivering on his by refusing to implement the additional sanctions approved by a super majority of Democrats and Republicans and attempting to undermine the existing sanctions. Putin wants nothing more than to destroy western democracy which he sees as a threat to his authoritarian government which is loosely disguised as a democracy. Russia is not our friend and ally, they are an enemy foreign government and the sooner Republicans wake upo to that fact the sooner we can work on protecting ourselves from their attacks. As it is, Republicans are empowering a murderous dictator by defending Putin and their meddling in our election because this time it happened to benefit them. Next time, they may be the targets and will have no one to come to their aid after burning all their bridges.
It's funny that the game's losers think they can make up the rules.
In this instance, the truth about a clandestine meeting with a banned, Russian spy, otherwise locked out of America as part of sanctions for interfering with an American election; it is one thing to follow protocol, and quite another to backroom deal with an enemy.
And that is what you continue to pretend is not what we're talking about.
Otherwise … neat string adjectives and nouns … albeit in abject evasiveness, disingenuous dissembling and hyperbolic choreography!
How many of them barred from entering the US under 2014 sanctions?
How many?
Ooooooooh … the font size rebuttal … how 'bout you just give a direct answer to the question?
Any size font will suffice.
I certainly wouldn't put my money on that. LOL
Read the headline of the seeded article boys … then read some history and learn how the most insidious regimes of the world went about gaining control of governments and laws.

Early Warnings: How American Journalists Reported the Rise of Hitler
What did Americans think of Hitler when they first met him in the 1920s and 1930s? You write that some of them burst out laughing at his shrill voice and jerky hand movements and refused to take him seriously.
That's true. In fact, some of the first people who met him did take him quite seriously. Truman Smith, who was a junior military attaché in the 1920s, came away from meeting Hitler and said, "This is a marvelous demagogue who can really inspire loyalty." It was the same with Karl von Wiegand, a Hearst correspondent who was the first American journalist to interview Hitler back in 1922. He was struck by Hitler's oratorical skills and his ability to whip people into a frenzy.
It was the left in the US and UK who praised and supported Hitler and Mussolini in the 1930s. that only changed after Hitler invaded Poland. After WWII, leftist historians began rewriting history to remove any mention of their support and falsely painted these are right wing ideologues.
And today Putin is succeeding not because of Trump, but because of the Demcratic Party and their propaganda shills the MSM who perpetuate headlines and the Deep State conspiracy against Trump and Conservatives. Putin smiles every time CNN and MSNBC along with the Democrats fill the airwaves with their incessant nonsense.
Putin can't possibly like what Trump is doing to make the US great. Putin doesn't want the US to have a stronger military, or improved relationships in the ME and Asia. Putin isn't happy that the US has once again begun exporting Coal and has dramatically increased exports of oil, natural gas, and gasoline.
Putin along with the Democrats are not happy that Trump is reducing regulations and making the US more competitive in the global markets.
I can go on and on. Only the Democrats who consistently show they are domestic enemies of the US are aiding and abetting Putin.
Those two are already suffering a disastrous future unless some things aren't changed. We hope we have someone in office now who is willing to tackle some of these problems after so many others have kicked them down the road for so long. We are already seeing this President isn't much for kicking problems down the road like so many others who failed to deliver on their promises during their campaigns.
Good you make your intentions clear. Projection ended. The article is a "bad-seed." So you think a one-party system is the way to go, do you? Ain't. Going. To. Happen. Insular bubble-talk. Your "dear leader" President Trump has "woke" people you probably would prefer stay asleep. Trump is a very NOISY kind of guy like that and he can't help banging cans and throwing bottles at imagined foes.
"Big Man giveth with his right hand and his left hand taketh it all back."
Actually, if you have been paying attention since the Republicans won the house in the 1994 elections; the Democrats have been TRYING TO DESTROY the Republican Party and have actively stated that several times.
And, how is it working out for either political side? That damn pendulum just keeps on swiping back and forth - cleaning extremists out in the process! Just look at the sitting republicans who feel like they 'got to go' because their work is done or they just can't take these dizzy big-wheelin' rides any longer. There has got to be an easier to make a buck and influence people!
As for pol parties: Wweelll, we all got to grow up sometime! Why not let it began with you and me, Tomwcraig?
Thank you for the chuckles, rather hilarious indeed
XDm9mm 9.3 ,
President Trump is a poser. President Trump has yet to save himself. Can you be sure he will not abandon republicans at the 'front'? We will have to wait to see what the end will be! There is nothing surprising about people wanting more money. The dilemma for our people who vote starts and ends with corruption :
Not all money is good money!
"Today we see the depravity and anti-Americanism that is prevalent in today's Democratic Party"
Total bullshit.
"They are the champion of such perverse things as unrestricted abortion, homosexual marriage, transgenderism, racial strife, and a God-hating form of radical secularism."
More bullshit. Democrats do not champion racial strife, they champion racial equality, the strife only comes when the bigots refuse to treat others as they expect to be treated. Our constitution is one of secular laws that specifically forbids religious tests and any establishment of religion. We ARE a secular nation, the only ones truly trying to destroy that are the ignorant bigots and moronic theocrats.
"They corrupt every institution in the U.S. with these 'novel' concepts from our schools to the military and everything in between."
Supporting equality for all regardless of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or lack thereof is only a "novel" concept to half wits and back woods holy rollers who have lazily chosen to accept the lies and deceit they were indoctrinated in by even more ignorant bigoted parents and peers instead of getting educated and facing reality.
"Democratic policies suffocate growth through regulations, high taxes, and crony capitalism."
Republican policies suffocate humans by refusing to regulate air pollution because they think they might be able to squeeze a little more profit by cutting corners and ignoring workplace safety. Republicans push up deficits, start unnecessary, unending un-paid for wars and love to give away our tax dollars to their military industrial complex donors. Both Republicans and Democrats can be accused of crony capitalism as that's how our current system of governing works, especially after the "citizens united" ruling that Republicans fought for.
Conservatism is the greatest threat to America, our ideals, our constitution and western democracy with Russia coming in as a close second. Conservatives tried to hang onto their traditions when they refused to give up their slaves and we saw how they took us to the brink of collapse by pitting fellow American against fellow American. Sure, the parties have changed, but the confederates, and their descendants today, have always considered themselves conservatives. They continue to this day to fight for their confederate monuments that celebrate the ignorant traitors of our past and revere those who fought for their right to own other humans as cattle.
Comment removed per TOS [ph]
The Logan Act; Flynn, et al tried to negotiate with Russian operatives prior to Trump's Inauguration.
Apparently Trump and Co accepted Russian help getting Trump elected in exchange for Trump not inforcing Obama era sanctions against the Russians for what they had already done interferring in our electoral process including hacking the DNC and the Clinton campaign. That is a quid pro quo. That is a, "You do this for me and I will do that for you", kind of deal which is still very much against the law in the US of A especially considering we are taling about Vlad Putin and his army of hackers and internet trolls who did impact votes in swing states November 2016...
Death wishing is not cool. I want him removed, not executed.
I did say tried...as in a court of law?
I don't know of any Trump supporters who are pro Russian supporters. If you watch too much MSM it will compel you to believe that, but it isn't true. We're pro American, though. Do you see anything wrong with that?
Of course he sees everything wrong with that! Progressive /liberals do not think Americans or America are worthy of being placed above anyone else. In fact they would like to drive America down to the level of least worthy country in the world.
Being a Trump (a.k.a. "EnormousDouchebag,®" and "FatOrangeNixon®") supporter IS being pro-Russian. The ED/FON's entire reason to exist is to do the bidding of Puppetmaster Putin. Removing sanctions was a first priority (see criminal Flynn) and when that failed, not enforcing them is the smoking gun you refuse to acknowledge.
